Abstract: The invention includes first and second electrical connectors
and a connector position assurance member that is lockable in a pre-staged
position. A first connector includes a pivotally connected pump handle lock
arm positioned to lock on to a nub on the second connector. A connector
position assurance member (CPA) is constructed for slidable movement on the
first connector and includes two forward reaching arms each having a stop on
a lower edge that engage a shoulder positioned on the first connector when the
CPA is in a pre-staged position. In this pre-staged position, a lock arm of the
CPA grabs into the pump handle on the first connector. The stop, shoulder
and lock arm prevent forward or backward slidable movement of the CPA
from this locked pre-staged position. As the first and second connectors are
mated, a ridge on the second connector engages an angled portion of the
forward reaching arms causing the arms to be lifted to raise the stop above the
shoulder on the first connector and allowing the connector position assurance
member to be moved forward to a final assembled position. Locking nubs on
the CPA and the first connector may be positioned to keep the CPA in the
final assembled position.

Abstract: At a transmitting end, first and second dipole antennas are
crossed each other by right angles and are arranged in a plane
perpendicular to a propagating direction of radio wave. In first and
second balanced modulators, a carrier signal is modulated with
respective modulation signals having a phase difference of 90° to
produce balanced-modulated signals, which are then supplied to the
first and second dipole antennas, respectively. Then a plane of
polarization of a composite vector of radio waves transmitted by the
dipole antennas is rotated at a frequency of the modulation signals,
said frequency being higher than a fading frequency. The modulation
signals are controlled by a state of a digital signal to be
transmitted. At a receiving end, the digital signal is reproduced by
receiving the transmitted radio wave by a conventional single side
band receiver.

Abstract: The method involves controlling the current flowing through the solenoid valve coil. In a first phase, the trip current is controlled at a defined value. During a second phase, a retaining current is controlled at a defined value. During a detection phase, when it is likely that the switching point will occur, the current is controlled at a detection value, which is smaller than the trip current and larger than the retaining current. The detection value is selected such that no saturation occurs. When the solenoid valve is used in a fuel injection system, the injection is divided into a pre-injection and a main injection. During the pre-injection, the current is controlled during the detection phase at the detection value.

Abstract: The invention is a method for obtaining a measure of the light propagation time
difference for two light-propagating-media paths. The first step consists of generating two
substantially-identical frequency-modulated light waves whereby the frequency of the light
waves is offset from a reference frequency by a different frequency increment for each basic time
interval in each of a plurality of groups of three or more basic time intervals. Each frequency
increment is the sum of a specified increment and a frequency-modulation-error
increment. The
frequency-modulation-error increments associated with the specified increments are independent
of each other and unknown. The second step consists of feeding the two light waves into the
entry points of two light-propagating-media paths having a light propagation time difference and
obtaining a combination light wave by summing the light waves emerging from the exit points of
the two light-propagating-media paths. The third step consists of calculating an estimated
corrected or estimated uncorrected phase measure of the light propagation time difference for the
two paths for a plurality of groups using only measured properties of the combination light wave.

Abstract: The pressure in the coking chamber of a coke oven is
held at about atmospheric pressure, and the temperature at
the opposite longitudinal ends of the combustion chamber
is independently controlled. Fuel gas is supplied to
hold the temperature at the opposite longitudinal ends to
be at least about 1000 °C separately from a main burner
for the combustion chamber, and the pressure in the coking
chamber during the first part of coking is kept in a range
from 5 mmH 2 O below atmospheric to 10 mmH 2 O above
atmospheric pressure. This allows efficient coke
production even with low moisture content coking coal, and
coal crumbling near the oven doors is not a problem. The
process is typically carried out in a coke oven having a
pressure control system for each coking chamber including
plural piping devices for supplying a pressure fluid and
switching valves for selectively applying the pressure
fluid to the nozzle in the rising pipe through any
selected one of the piping systems. The fluid pressure
applied to the nozzle and the pressure in the coking
chamber are preferably changed over time based calculated
relationships between carbonization time, coking chamber
pressure, and fluid pressure applied to the nozzle.

been given to attempt to allocate an initial space request over more than
one volume, and, if so, attempting to allocate space on a plurality of
volumes. If the initial space request cannot be allocated on a plurality
of volumes, the initial space request is reduced by a preset percentage,
the five-extent limit is removed and an attempt is made to allocate the
reduced space request on the plurality of volumes with the five extent
limit removed. Alternatively, if authorization has not been given to
attempt to allocate the initial space request over more than one volume,
the initial space request is reduced by a preset percentage, the five-extent
limit is removed and an attempt is made to allocate the reduced
space request on a single volume.

Abstract: A multi-processor system makes it possible to enhance information
transmitted between processors. Any one of the processors can inject information
into a data transmission between other processors. The injected information can
identify or indicate the location of one processor with respect to another processor.
Alternately, it can define which processor or processors should respond or specify an
action to be taken. Where one processor is transmitting to another processor, a third
processor, upon detecting the transmission, can insert additional information into the
transmission sequence at an appropriate location. A fourth processor, also
monitoring the communications sequence could insert additional information into the
same sequence as well.
